Hanna Schmitz: You don't have the power to upset me. You don't matter enough to upset me.
Michael: I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, it will give it spice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you ended it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love.
Michael: I can't live without you. The thought of leaving you kills me. Do you love me?
Hanna Schmitz: It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what I feel. The dead are still dead.
Chosen answer: There were two survivors: a woman and her daughter, who was named Ilana. It was Ilana's memoirs of her and her mother's experience in the camp that were published. Ilana, the daughter, may have helped with the actual writing based on her mother's memories (since Ilana's own memories could be bleak, as she was just a child).
